Abstract:
After all your work planning and doing evaluation, what about using your results? Too often this phase does not get the attention it deserves. Many people need to submit impact statements whether to a work-related reporting system, to funders, to partners, or for press-related purposes. We will go through what University of Wisconsin-Extension advises makes a good impact statement. We will also talk more broadly about other uses of evaluation data/findings: one-pagers, getting it to the right people in the right formats (and at the right time), and some tips for summarizing and visually presenting data.
